OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY
(Gary Moore)

They came for him one winter's night.
Arrested, he was bound.
They said there'd been a robbery,
his pistol had been found.

They marched him to the station house,
he waited till the dawn.
And as they led him to the dock,
he knew that he'd been wronged.
You stand accused of robbery,
he heard the bailiff say.
He knew without an alibi
tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.

Over the hills and far away,
for ten long years he'll count the days.
Over the mountains and the seas,
a prisoner's life for him there'll be.

He knew that it would cost him dear,
but yet he dare not say.
Just where he had been that fateful night,
a secret it must stay.
He had to fight back tears of rage.
His heart beat like a drum.
For with the wife of his best friend,
he'd spent his final night of freedom.

Over the hills and far away,
he swears he will return one day.
Far from the mountains and the seas,
back in her arms again he'll be.
Over the hills and far away.

Each night within his prison cell,
he looks out through the bars.
He reads the letters that she wrote.
One day he'll know the taste of freedom.

Over the hills and far away,
she prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
back in his arms again she'll be.

Over the hills and far away,
he swears he will return one day.
As sure as the river reach the sea,
back in his arms is where she'll be.

Over the hills and far away,
she prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
back in her arms is where he'll be.

Over the hills.
Over the hills and far away.

Over the hills.
Over the hills and far away.

WILD FRONTIER
(Gary Moore)

I remember the old country
they call the emerald land.
And I remember my hometown
before the war began.

Now we're riding on a sea of rage,
the victims you have seen.
You'll never hear them sing again
The Forty Shades Of Green.

We're goin' back to the wild frontier.
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling.
Back to the wild frontier.
We're goin' back,
back to the wild frontier.

I remember my city streets
before the soldiers came.
Now armoured cars and barricades
remind us of our shame.

We are drowning in a sea of blood,
the victims you have seen.
Never more to sing again
The Forty Shades Of Green.

We're goin' back to the wild frontier.
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling.
Back to the wild frontier.
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling.

Those are the days I will remember.
Those are the days I most recall.
We count the cost of those we lost
and pray it's not in vain.
The bitter tears of all those years.
I hope we live to see those days again.

Now we're riding on a sea of rage,
the victims you have seen.
You'll never hear us sing again
The Forty Shades Of Green.

And I remember a friend of mine,
so sad now that he's gone.
They tell me I'll forget
as time goes on.

We're goin' back to the wild frontier.
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling.
Back to the wild frontier.
We're goin' back.
Back to the wild frontier.
Back to the wild frontier.
Back to the wild frontier.

Those forty shades of green are calling me back home.

Ooh, we're goin' back.
Back to the wild frontier.
I'm goin' back.
Back to the wild frontier.

TAKE A LITTLE TIME
(Gary Moore)

I know the reason
you turn your back
on things that you don't wanna hear.
I know this feelin'
I get from you
when you try to act so sincere.

But I don't know
what's making you behave this way.
I'm gonna go,
you never hear a word I say.
You better learn to

Take a little time
to show me that you care for me.
Take a little time
to show me you're still there for me.

I know the danger,
you're holding all the cards
because you think I'll wait.
You're like a stranger,
you better show your hand
before it gets too late.

But I don't know,
what's making you behave this way.
I'm gonna go,
I might as well just walk away.
If you don't learn to

Take a little time
to show me that you care for me.
You gotta take a little time
to show me you're still there for me.
You better take a little time
to show me what's been going on.
It's been like this for much too long.
Take a little time.

Don't hand me all these lines.
My eyes are open wide now.
Don't give me all your lies.
I'm gettin' much too wise for you.
Take a little time.

But I don't know,
what's making you behave this way.
You never hear a word I say.
I might as well just walk away.
If you don't learn to

Take a little time
to show me that you care for me.
You better take a little time
to show me you're still there for me.
You gotta take a little time
to show me what's been going on.
It's been like this for much too long.
Take a little time.

You gotta take a little time.
I'm tellin' you,
you gotta take a little

Take a little time.
Take a little time.
Take a little.
Take a little time.

You gotta take a little,
take a little,
you gotta take a little,
take a little time.

I'm tellin' you.
Take a little,
take a little time.

Take a little,
take a little time.

FRIDAY ON MY MIND
(George Young/Harry Vanda)

Monday morning feels so bad.
Everybody seems to nag me.
Come on Tuesday I feel better.
Even my old man looks good.
Wednesday just won't go,
Thursday goes too slow.
I've got Friday on my mind.

Gonna have fun in the city.
Be with my girl, she's so pretty.
She looks fine tonight.
She is outa' sight to me.

Tonight, I'll paint it red.
Tonight, I'll lose my head.
Tonight, I've got to get tonight.
Monday I have Friday on my mind.

Do the five day drag once more.
No one, nothing else that bugs me.
Now I'm working for the rich man.
But I'll change his tune one day.

Tonight I'll get mad.
Tomorrow I'll be glad.
'Cause I've got Friday on my mind.

Gonna have fun in the city.
Be with my girl she's so pretty.
She looks fine tonight.
She is outa' sight to me.

Tonight, I'll paint it red.
Tonight, I'll lose my head.
Tonight, I've got to get tonight.
Monday I have Friday on my mind.

Yeah.

Gonna have fun in the city.
Be with my girl she's so pretty.
Gonna have fun in the city.
Gonna have some fun.
Be with my girl she's so pretty.
Gonna have some fun.

Gonna have fun in the city.
Gonna have some fun.
Be with my girl she's so pretty.
In the city tonight.
Gonna have fun in the city.

STRANGERS IN THE DARKNESS
(Gary Moore/Neil Carter)

Oh, strangers.

He get's this feeling.
It's there within, each time he wakes.
This empty feeling.
Before too long, he'll start to shake.

You see him after midnight
on the city streets.
He turns away
to hide his eyes from those he meets.

Strangers in the darkness.
You see them everywhere.

She's just a young girl.
She's left her home for better times.
She's made the wrong friends.
She's turning to a life of crime.

She sells her fading beauty
to the passers by.
She tries to hide
that faroff look.
It's in her eyes.

Strangers in the darkness.
You see them everywhere.
So many strangers in the darkness.
Why is it no one seems to care?

Oh, strangers in the darkness.
Strangers in the darkness.

They found him after midnight
on a city street.
A young man with a problem
that he couldn't beat.

Strangers in the darkness.
You see them everywhere.
So many strangers in the darkness.
Why is it no one seems to care?

THUNDER RISING
(Gary Moore/Neil Carter)

They looked out from the fortress on the hill.
There came a single warrior returning from the kill.
The spoils of war hung from his horses mane.
The bloody heads of enemies that he had freshly slayed.

They saw the face, the eyes so sullen,
could only be the young Cú Chullain.

Thunder rising.
Thunder rising.
Thunder rising early in the morning.
Cities burning,
the world keeps turning.
Thunder rising early in the morning.

The son of Lugh MacEithleen knew no fear.
For just one blow at any foe to tell his end was near.
So many tried to mock this Celtic son.
They taunted and they teased him till
he slayed them one by one.

And so they came, and so they've fallen
at the hands of young Cú Chullain.

Thunder rising.
Thunder rising.
Thunder rising early in the morning.
Cities burning,
the world keeps turning.
Thunder rising early in the morning.

Long ago the legend has it,
how the mighty Ulster men
battled with the King Of Connacht,
fighting to the bitter end.
No one knew what foolish reason
caused this skirmish to begin.
Was it treachery or treason,
or just the idle threats of drunken men?

Thunder rising.
Thunder rising.
Thunder rising early in the morning.
Cities burning,
the world keeps turning.
Thunder rising early in the morning.

Thunder rising.
Thunder rising.
Thunder rising early in the morning.
Young men are dying.
The widows are crying.
Thunder rising early in the morning.

JOHNNY BOY
(Gary Moore)

When I hear that wind blow,
all across the Wicklow mountains.
Is it you, I hear a calling.
Johnny boy, oh Johnny boy.

When I look to the west,
all across the River Shannon.
I can still see you smiling.
Johnny boy, oh Johnny boy.

When the leaves have turned to brown
and winter's due.
As I watch the sun goes down,
I'll think of you.

When I hear that wind blow,
all across the Wicklow mountains.
Sure it's you, I'll hear a calling.
Johnny boy, oh Johnny boy.

CRYING IN THE SHADOWS
(Gary Moore)

Sometimes he sees her walking by.
He never looks her in the eye.
She doesn't know, she doesn't care,
what he is feeling.

And as she turns to walk away,
there is nothing he can say.
She doesn't know.
Why should she care?
When he's alone, she's never there,
to see him

Crying in the shadows
of a love he used to know,
but now it's all over.
Crying in the shadows
of someone he called his own,
but now he's all alone again.

Sometimes she sees him walking by.
She never looks him in the eye.
He doesn't know, he doesn't care,
what she is feeling.

As he turns to walk away,
there is nothing she can say.
He doesn't know.
Why should he care?
When she's alone, he's never there.
He leaves her

Crying in the shadows
of a love she used to know,
but now it's all over.
Crying in the shadows
of someone she called her own,
but now she's all alone again.

Well, he can see it in her eyes.
And she can fell it in her heart.
Yes, they can feel it in their hearts.
It's tearing them apart.
Over and over again.

Crying in the shadows
of a love he used to know,
but now it's all over.
Crying in the shadows
of someone she called her own,
but now she's all alone.

Crying in the shadows
of a love they used to know,
but now it's all over.
Crying in the shadows
of a love they used to know,
but now they're all alone again.

Crying in the shadows.
Crying in the shadows, of love.

Crying in the shadows.
Crying in the shadows, of love.

Crying in the shadows.
Crying in the shadows, of love.

Crying in the shadows.
Crying in the shadows, of love.

Crying in the shadows.
Crying in the shadows, of love.

Crying in the shadows.
Crying in the shadows, of love

DON'T TAKE ME FOR A LOSER
(Gary Moore)

Baby, I used to be the kind anyone could burn.
But now I've left those days behind,
and it's time for the wheel to turn.
Baby, I used to be so easy to take for a ride.
But now I've learned to play the game,
and my eyes are always open wide.

I was the one who would listen to you,
when you handed me all of your lies.
But those days have gone, and it's time you caught on,
'cause this time nothin's gonna get by.

Don't take me for a loser.
Don't take me for a loser, 'cause I'm gonna win.
Don't take me for a fool, baby.
'Cause it would take a fool to lose you again.

Baby, I used to be the one who could run around.
But now my heart is in my head,
and nothing you have said can pull me down.
One day, I told you everything would come back on you.
And now you've had all your chances,
and your one night romances are through.

I was the one who would listen to you,
when you handed me all of your lies.
But those days have gone, and it's time you caught on,
'cause this time nothin's gonna get by.

Don't take me for a loser.
Don't take me for a loser, 'cause I'm gonna win.
Don't take me for a fool, baby.
'Cause it would take a fool to lose you again.

I was the one who would listen to you,
when you handed me all of your lies.
But those days have gone, and it's time you caught on,

Don't take me for a loser, 'cause I'm gonna win.
Don't take me for a fool baby.
'Cause it would take a fool to lose you again.

ALWAYS GONNA LOVE YOU
(Gary Moore)

It's not the same when I look in her eyes.
The magic's not there.
And when I look, I realize
what we could have shared.

I'm always gonna love you,
if loving means forever.
I'm always gonna want you.
I don't think I could ever
just forget the love we had.

It's not the same when she's here in my arms,
or the smile on her face.
And even though with all of her charms,
she can't take your place.

I'm always gonna love you,
if loving means forever.
I'm always gonna want you.
I don't think I could ever
just forget the love we had.

It's not the same when I look in her eyes.
The magic's not there.
And when I look, I realize
what we could have shared.

I'm always gonna love you,
if loving means forever.
I'm always gonna want you,
if loving means forever.

I'm always gonna love you,
if loving means forever.
I'm always gonna want you,
if loving means forever.

I'm always gonna love you.

WISHING WELL
(Rodgers/Kirke/Yamauchi/Bundrick/Kossoff)

Take off your hat, kick off your shoes.
You know you ain't goin' anywhere.
Spend all your time singin' your blues.
You know you ain't goin' anywhere.

You've always been a good friend of mine,
but you always say farewell.
And the only time that you're satisfied,
is with your feet in the wishing well.
In the wishing well.

Throw down your gun, you might shoot yourself.
Or is that what you're tryin' to do?
Put up a fight you believe to be right,
and one day the sun will shine through.

You've always got somethin' to hide.
Somethin' you just can't tell.
And the only time that you're satisfied,
is with your feet in the wishing well.
In the wishing well.

But I know what you're wishing for.
Love in a peaceful world.
Love in a peaceful world.
Love in a peaceful world.

You've always been a good friend of mine,
but you always say farewell.
And the only time that you're satisfied,
is with your feet in the wishing well.

In the wishing well.
In the wishing well.
Everybody's got a dream.
And they take it to the wishing well.
Everybody's got a dream.
Wishing well.

GONNA BREAK MY HEART AGAIN
(Gary Moore)

You've been turnin' me upside down
since the day I met you.
But no matter how hard I try,
I can't seem to forget you.
You've been turning me inside out
since the day I found you.
So why do I spend all of my time
just hangin' around you?

I don't care what you say to me.
From the way you been behaving
now it's plain to see.

You're gonna break my heart again.
You're gonna break my heart again.
Like you broke my heart before.

Everybody tells me
that I'd be better off without you.
So why do I spend all of my time
just thinking about you?

I don't care what you say to me.
From the things that I been hearing
now it's plain to see.

You're gonna break my heart again.
You're gonna break my heart again.
You're gonna break my heart again.
Just like you broke my heart before.

I don't care what you say to me.
From the way you been behaving
now it's plain to see.

You're gonna break my heart again.
You're gonna break my heart again.
You're gonna break my heart again.
Just like you broke my heart before.

You're gonna break my heart again.
You're gonna break my heart again.
Just like you broke my heart before.

You're gonna break my heart again.
You're gonna break my heart again.
You're gonna break my heart again.
You're gonna break my heart again.

FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU
(Gary Moore)

When I'm close to you, I feel my heartbeat
telling me that you're the one for me.
Darling, I don't understand the reasons,
I just know that this was meant to be.

And when I look into your eyes I see it,
everything that I've been searchin' for.
Darlin', I don't understand this feeling,
I just know it's growing more and more.

Because I'm falling in love with you.
It's the easiest thing for me to do.
Yes, I'm falling in love with you - it's true.

I lie awake at night and think about you.
I wake up to another lonely day.
I know you'll never feel this way about me,
no matter what I do or say.

And I'm falling in love with you.
It's the easiest thing for me to do.
Yes, I'm falling in love with you.

You say you're not the one for me.
That I am just a dreamer.
I try so hard to make you see
that someone like you
could make my dreams come true.

Because I'm falling in love with you.
It's the easiest thing for me to do.
Yes, I'm falling in love with you, it's true.

Yes, I'm falling in love with you.
It's the easiest thing for me to do.
Yes, I'm falling in love with you.
It's the easiest thing for me to do.

Yes, I'm falling.
Yes, I'm falling.
Yes, I'm falling.
Yes, I'm falling in love with you.
Falling, I'm falling, I'm falling.

THE END OF THE WORLD
(Gary Moore)

There is only tomorrow,
nothing but sorrow waiting for you.
Don't look for any mystery,
it's only history we're passing through.
The threat from the east
growing stronger with each passing hour.
All systems are failing,
and talks with the west have turned sour.

The leaders are waiting for blood on their hands.
Playing with weapons they don't understand.
Could it be this time we'll see the end of the world.

Each day brings a new danger,
love is a stranger we used to know.
Outside, the sun goes on rising.
But we're realizing there's not long to go.
The storm clouds are forming,
take heed of the warning to come.
The Kremlin has told every nation
there's no place to run.

The leaders are waiting for blood on their hands.
Playing with weapons they don't understand.
Could it be this time we'll see the end of the world.
The end of the world.
The end of the world.
The end of the world.

The threat from the east
growing stronger with each passing hour.
All systems are failing,
and talks with the west have turned sour.

The leaders are waiting for blood on their hands.
Playing with weapons they don't understand.
Could it be this time we'll see the end of the world.

The end of the world.
The end of the world.

The end of the world.
(Repeat to end)

ROCKIN' EVERY NIGHT
(Gary Moore/Ian Paice)

The kind of place where the kids all go.
Come along baby you can shake off your blues.

We'll be rockin' every night,
rollin' till the break of day.
Rockin' every night,
rollin' till the break of day.

Rockin' every night,

That's right, we were rockin'.

We were rockin' every night,
rollin' till the break of day.

Always want more, just like my name says.
Yeah, that's right. That's right.

Keep on rockin'. Keep on rollin'.
Keep on rockin'. Keep on rollin' every night.

COLD HEARTED
(Gary Moore)

I'm a man with something to say.
I don't need nobody to show me the way.
I don't care if it's day or if it's night.
Ain't nobody gonna teach me wrong from right.

'Cause every hungry woman
has tried to make a fool out of me.
Every hungry woman,
stick around and baby you'll see.
I'm cold hearted.
I'm so cold hearted.

I'm a man with a mind of my own.
I don't need nobody, I'm happy all alone.
I don't care if it's day or if it's night.
Ain't nobody gonna teach me wrong from right.

'Cause every hungry woman
has tried to make a fool out of me.
Every hungry woman,
stick around and baby you'll see.
I'm cold hearted.
So cold hearted.
I'm cold hearted.
So cold hearted.

Every hungry woman,

I'm cold hearted.
So cold hearted.
I'm cold hearted.
So cold hearted.
Baby, I tell you I've got a heart that's made of stone.

I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW
(Gary Moore)

I've been searchin' for something I might never find.
I've been looking for something I have left behind.
I've been searching every day in the rising sun.
I've been trying to find my way till the day is done.
I've been searching.

I've been reaching for something I might never touch.
And I've been dreaming of something that I want so much.
I've been counting all the tears in the falling rain.
I've been trying to hide my fears, but it's all the same.
And I don't know if I'll ever pass this way again.

I can't wait until tomorrow.
It's something I might never see.
I can't wait until tomorrow,
for tomorrow never waits for me.
Tomorrow never waits for me.

I can't wait until tomorrow.
It's something I might never see.
I can't wait until tomorrow,
for tomorrow never waits for me.
Tomorrow just won't wait for me.
Tomorrow never waits for me.

I've been searchin' for something I might never find.
And I've been looking for something I have left behind.
I've been counting all the tears in the falling rain.
I've been hiding all my fears, but it's all the same.
And I don't know if I'll ever pass this way again.

I can't wait until tomorrow.
It's somethin' I might never see.
I can't wait until tomorrow,
for tomorrow never waits for me.

I can't wait until tomorrow.
It's not the place I wanna be.
I can't wait until tomorrow,
for tomorrow just won't wait for me.
